Here's What's New on Netflix in August 2018 — And What's Leaving

Netflix is adding several shows, original comedies and classic movies in August 2018, which is sure to keep eager TV-watchers on their couches as late summer storms or heat waves pass by.

Those in need of a laugh can catch up on season 2 of The Good Place, which comes to Netflix on August 28, or season 1 of Great News, which comes to Netflix on August 23. For people who would rather work out some emotions with a long cry, the Sally Field-starring tearjerker Steel Magnolias will be available August 1, as will the emotional P.S. I Love You, starring Hilary Swank. Original fare from Netflix this month includes the Kristen Bell and Kelsey Grammer-led film Like Father and the dark comedy Brij Mohan Amar Rahe!, starring Arjun Mathur.

Many titles are leaving Netflix in August, including the movies Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story, Finding Dory, The 40-Year Old Virgin and Sausage Party. Catch up on before they disappear and enjoy what’s coming to the streaming service in August.
